I thought I'd have a go at building a desk from scratch for my girlfriend, using a simple design. All went well until the end. After placing the tabletop on top of the legs and frame, we have a very noticeable wobble from side to side. I've attached a cross bar in the back to help, but to no avail. This desk is abnormally long at 72" so I'm sure this has a lot to do with it, however, my building skills seem to be greater than my knowledge of physics. I've done some research to find a solution but I can't seem to find a proper one for this project. This desk is going to be used mainly for her computer and monitors (which of course, feel the effects of the wobble).So DIYers, I ask for help. I'm looking for a simple fix, but if greater steps are needed, I will surely take them. I would prefer it be done the right way. If possible, I'd like to leave plenty of leg room so there aren't any knee knockers. Is this as simple as replacing my current cross bar with a "X" design or do I need to go further and brace the sides more? Or is there something I'm missing completely?Dimensions: 72" x 30" x 29"FRONT http://ift.tt/2ieQ4lh http://ift.tt/2gMigfg http://ift.tt/2idoDsa http://ift.tt/2xwLTId via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2zXN44Q
